Night Tours
Osa Herping
Experience the incredible biodiversity of the wildest place on Earth
with knowledgeable local indigenous guides.
Osa! Magic word.
For those that are attracted to Tropical nature, Osa is synonym of Biodiversity. National geographic has repeated many times that osa contains 5% of the biodiversity of the Planet!
Osa peninsula has the most vibrating rainforests of Central America, with a huge variety of mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles. To explore Osa is to become a genuine naturalist!
Osa is home of the mighty and mythic black-headed bushmaster
(Lachesis melanocephala), of the endemic white-tailed hognose viper (Porthidium porrasi), and other incredible snakes like Bothriechis schlegelii, Bothrops asper, Clelia clelia, Dipsas tenuissima, etc etc. Many lizards, crocodiles and caimans, turtles and amphibians like the gliding treefrog (Agalychnis spurrelli) or the endemic worm-like caecilian Oscaecilia osae also find here their home.
